Tourist cabins for Negroes. Highway sign. South Carolina

Do you wish the sun would set earlier?
Have you ever touched the milky skin of the superior?
Does your daddy fear them?
Does your mommy hear them?
The things they say about us,
Yet lifes better than the way it was,
Limeorx will one day be different.

I wish everyone would see,
The way your life could be,
If black and white were treated equally.
Cream covers the black of the coffee,
For you boy, life's never sweet like toffee.
Limerox will one day be different
We're seen as bad guys,
But the white people are the frogs and we are the flies.
They have rights and we barely have lights.
How can color define top step?

Will we ever be filled with pep?
Limerox will one day be different.
One day you'll be free.
One day they will see.
How good black can be.
One day....you will be free.
